First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who has helped out with Sunday Parkways this summer. I know, there were many of them. The exposure we have received, and even more importantly, the opportunities that this has opened up have been incredible. We are working on an opportunity to build a public pumptrack in large part due to the work that we have put into sharing the skills course at Sunday Parkways, so once again, THANK YOU!

This is the last round and is the first time it is being offered in NW (the Pearl District). This should be tons of fun, get some more great exposure and provide opportunities for kids of all ages to get jazzed on their bikes.

Once again, we are looking for a few volunteers to help out with setting up and staffing the event. The event is on Sunday, September 26th from 10am - 3pm. Drop me an email if you have a little time you can spare to invest in creating riding opportunities in the metro area!

Hey everyone!

The fourth Sunday Parkways is coming up this weekend in SE, Sunday the 15th. We will be settign up in the ballfield in Col Sumners park. This has traditionally been the biggest draw of all the Sunday Parkways, and with all the attention and postive reactions we get from the skills course, we really want to have a great showing! Our goal is to be able to have skill courses in the metro area to provide fun and safe places for kids (of all ages) to have a great time, gain confidence and improve their bike handling!

We are getting positive feedback and interest in pursueing this goal, so let's continue to host the skills course, get people stoked on the possibilities, and show everyone there is a real demand for permanant and progressive bike parks in Portland!

Once again I am hoping you may have a little time in your day to help out. a couple of hours is a huge help!
